a very interesting conversation.....

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student :Yes

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smell your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends /colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?
Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN ;-)

FIND IT, GET IN IT AND STAY THERE

Moms has always told me to pursue my writing, but I just don’t think I'm anything special.  Maybe it’s because I haven’t really seen a lot of growth. And maybe that’s because I'm the one writing and always reading my work and have just become immune to it. But I've always been told I was a good writer. Even in middle school. I remembered in 8^th grade, my teacher trying to find ways for me to be admitted into a high school English class. He felt I wasn’t being challenged with the curriculum. I was always made an example in class too. Teachers were always reading my assignments. Talk about embarrassing, especially if I didn't know. Face red and hot, heart racing smh. People would even walk up to me when we were focusing on poetry in class and try to either borrow something of mine or have me do their assignments for the,. I remember almost an entire week of my sophomore year was shot because my teacher told me I was going to receive a B in class. My first B in English EVER! I was on “I'm pissed. Don’t talk to me.” mode. It broke my teacher’s heart too. And even though every time I write something, people always say they like it and that I'm a good writer, I still don’t see it the way they do.

So, I dove into the Word and it was talking about gifts. I would say it was a coincidence but I know when you look at life from a difference perspective, what seems like coincidence is really God doing what He does best: being Him and setting things up in a way that only He can. First Corinthians 12 (1 Corinthians 12) is all about your gifts, emphasizes on YOURS, not somebody else’s (FYI: if you think the Bible is outdated, you’re not reading it right). Pretty much it breaks down that God gives certain gifts, talents, passions, whatever you want to call it, to the people He chooses to do so. So with that, we have the responsibility to recognize and to use it (this is sounding a lot like my ethics class). It also tells us everybody cannot have the same talent or function because then we would be a bunch of people all doing the same thing and things do not get done properly, fully or effectively if everyone is trying to be like everyone else. It uses the human body as an example. If the whole body was an eye, yes we would be able to see, but we wouldn’t be able to hear, smell, taste or touch. If the whole body was an arm, we would have legs. So, if your talent is something musical, don’t try to change it or ignore it and be like all your athletic friends, or public speaking friends or computer tech friends. Unless it is an interest of yours, then of course try your hand at it, but recognize what your number 1 talent is and use it. You might be a good listener, or good at advice or the only reliable friend that has a car, the only person they can think of that can help them in math or just have great connections and can get them some discount tickets to fly somewhere, I don’t know. Use it for God. Use it to better the world around you.

I remember for the longest I wanted to be a rapper. I was like 13 and I freaking loved Eve. I was like “Imma be like Eve one day.” I wanted to sing too. Thing is, I'm the shyest person ever and can’t write raps and honestly, the only one who likes how I sing other than me is Jesus. But I used to always say if “I could sing, I would be in New York or LA somewhere right now.” But God didn't give me that talent, so I gotta stick to and work at what He has blessed me with: the gift of words.

Basically, what I got out of those 31 verses is that God truly has fearfully and wonderfully made us (psalm 139:14) and that copying people has never been a good idea. When we wish we could do something better just to be like somebody else and began to pursue it (when it was never for us to have), we basically are telling God how He made us wasn’t right or good enough and now we have to fix a few things. Basically, telling a perfect God that He made a mistake. Yeah, okay…no. so find your lane, get in it and stay there. Quit trying to merge over. Our culture is always saying it but we, as well as the culture, is steady trying to create a new being with bits and pieces of everybody else mixed with who and what we already are. That’s not how it works….
